Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (10 ounce) can low-sodium cream of mushroom soup
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen cauliflower and broccoli mix
2 tablespoons butter
1 ½ cups milk
¾ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese, or more to taste
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
½ cup seasoned bread crumbs, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add milk and salt; stir in remaining cream of mushroom soup. Add flour slowly, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps. Add Cheddar cheese. Cook and stir until cheese sauce is thick, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic powder.
  • Layer half the cooked vegetables into the bottom of a baking pan or casserole dish. Add half of the cooked chicken. Pour in half the cheese sauce. Add a light layer of bread crumbs. Add remaining vegetables, remaining chicken, and remaining cheese sauce. Top with a light layer of bread crumbs. Cover pan with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes.

A chicken, broccoli and rice casserole is one of our favorite comfort foods. I make my easy variation in the slow cooker. You can easily substitute whatever cheese you prefer.
